1978 Triumph Spitfire.

Scary for electricians. Lucas must have hired some real winners.

"Well, drop a Boss V-8 into a Ford Falcon and what do you get? An overpowered car that doesn't have the shocks, brakes or structural rigidity to turn or stop well."

I believe that's exactly the original Mad Max interceptor vehicle. It did OK against Toecutter's gang.

Dear old dad had a 69 (I think it was a 69) Pontiac Firebird with the 400 and progressive steering.

Great setup as long as you only plan to go fast in a straight line.

If you're not used to the progressive steering, that makes for one dangerous car to drive.

As I found out one night when I "borrowed" it while he was out of town.

No damage, but never tried that stunt again.

Heh, in my early tinkering days I was informed that if I ever monkeyed with the car's Q-jet, I was disowned.

Good list. My only disagreement is the VW Thing. Coolest Car Ever.

But yeah, Hummers are ridiculous.

Interesting that I've owned 4 of these 10 cars. I didn't know that I had an affinity for scary cars.

I had a Ford Pinto. It was one of the best cars I ever had, up until I learned they could blow up.

This is a person who feels so inadequate inside that he has to drive around pretending the 82nd Airborne will be backing him up in his next argument over a parking space.

IT is nice to have friends around...

They've certainly got the Aztek's number (zero).

They forgot this one:

The only thing scarier than the car is the corduroy pants.

A friend of mine asked Dan Gurney what it was like to drive the Ford Mark IV. His answer...."Scary."

The Volks Microbus was the number one killer of human beings on the roads of Brazil. One tiny touch and they would go airborne and most always end poorly. A friend of mine was in one with nine other unfortunates that was clipped lightly on the rear fender by a truck. The Volks flew through the air over a bridge into a river 100 feet below. He was the only survivor but crippled for life. Normal bugs were not much safer and I saw a lot of them in totally destroyed modes with fatalities evident.
